Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
The live CD for ubuntu 10.04 beta2 won't boot for me. But if I set a
kernel parameter to acpi=off, then the live CD works fine for me (this
is not the bug I am reporting, please read the whole thing). Then after
I install from the live CD, and it goes to boot for the first time, grub
no longer has a 10 second timeout so I can't add acpi=off again. I have
to reboot with the live CD as a rescue CD, edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, add
"set timeout=10" at the bottom of it. Then I reboot with the newly
installed 10.04 beta2, and during the 10 second timeout, add acpi=off to
the boot parameter, and then I can get into 10.04 beta2 just fine. I
had this problem in 10.04 beta1 as well.
The problem is that 10.04 beta2 won't boot for me on the first boot after
installing (because I need to add acpi=off again). If I have added acpi=off in
order to get the installer/live cd to come up, there is a 99% I will need it to
get the freshly installed system to come up too.
Here are some potential solutions:
1. If any extra kernel boot parameters are added during the boot of the
installer/live cd, then those kernel boot parameters should be automatically
added to the default grub entry of the freshly installed system.
2. If any extra kernel boot parameters are added during the boot of the
installer/live cd, then the default grub timeout should be 10 and not 0 on the
freshly installed system.
3. Always make the default grub timeout 10.
I like option 1 the most and option 3 the least, because that would
conflict with fast boot times which is a goal in 10.04.
